Study Notes
Heredity and Genetics
- Heredity is the passing on of traits from parents to their offspring.
- Heredity is also known as inheritance.
- The study of heredity in biology is called genetics.
Genome and Genes
- The complete set of genes within an organism's genome is called the genome.
- The term genome refers to the complete set of genes within an organism.
- Genes control inherited traits.
Traits and Characteristics
- Inherited traits are controlled by genes.
- An example of an inherited characteristic in humans is eye color.
- The complete set of observable traits of the structure and behavior of an organism is called the phenotype.
- The phenotype determines the observable traits of an organism.
Evolution
- Species evolve according to natural selection.
- Natural selection causes species to evolve.
- Changes in the environment can cause species to evolve.
- The process of evolution occurs over time.
